The Official Flash thread

[The Caped Knight]

I can't believe Wally's gone, He was by far The Best Flash ever . How could DC comics kill him off ?

 

[Anubis]

He's not dead.

 

[boywondernerdDC]

uhhh they didnt for sure but maybe who knows

 

[Anubis]

No, Johns said he is not dead.

 

[The Caped Knight]

No, they Johns said, he is not dead.

HE not, You mean Wally, Linda, Barry and Iris West (twin Children) could return right ?

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, but Wally wont be Flash OYL. But as long as he's alive, theres always a chance.

[The Flash!]

New interview with Joan Hilty, alot about Flash OYL.

*Possible spoilers*

NRAMA: Let’s start talking about your titles with the one we still have to wait a few months for…

So much of the future of The Flash seems shrouded in secrecy in regards to who will be picking up the Flash mantle in the DCU Universe - will Barry or Wally return? Will Bart return and "graduate", giving it some symmetry with the original Crisis? Will Wally's twins "return" grown-up and assume the mantle?

JH: See, that’s what I love about this book. Nobody says, “Aw hell, everything’s been done, I got nothing, let’s pack it up.” The Flash history is so rich, and it’s stayed in such good hands, that there are infinite possibilities as to where it goes next.

NRAMA: So what can you tell readers today about the new summer-debuting Flash series and its star.. or stars?

JH: There’s just one star. Just one. This run is going to reveal more about him than you ever knew before, and he’s probably carrying the heaviest weight of any Flash ever.

NRAMA: Both Dan Didio and the new writing team have previously told us that the Flash legacy will still be an important element of this series and the Flash mythos. Anything you can add to that a little closer to publication?

JH: The legacy is what makes this book. There’s only one Batman, there’s only one Superman. Any time you try to put someone else in their boots, it’s temporary. And yet the mantle of the Flash isn’t just something that moves from host to host like the Spectre. Everyone who takes it on redefines it.

NRAMA: Dan also said something to the effect of "Don't become too attached to the first Flash you see"... any idea what he meant and thoughts you can share with us?

JH: You’re going to see a hero giving 150% to carry the Flash mantle against pretty bad odds. After that, Danny Bilson and Paul deMeo are going to turn the story completely on its head.

NRAMA: Any thoughts on the future - or lack thereof - of the Speed Force in the DCU? The Speed Force added a layer to the Flash "legacy" that wasn't just ‘accidents that made someone run really quick’… it added texture and elements of destiny to the family of people tuned into it. Is it a concept that has (and pardon the pun) run its course?

JH: Definitely not. The Speed Force as you knew it is gone, and now it’s going to be more important than ever.

Make of that what you will.

NRAMA: More generally speaking, whereas the origins of Batman and Superman essentially define the character and thereby their titles, does "moving really fast" define who and what a Flash is in the DCU? Or is there more to what makes Flash unique other than his or her metahuman ability?

JH: What I’ve always loved about the Flash is that he’s a regular guy who takes himself to the next level. He doesn’t have an alien heritage or trust fund — he can only work with what he’s got. There’s an element of chance to being the Flash — it’s all about where you’re standing when the lightning strikes — but after that, you have to step up to it.

To me The Flash also has to be the most visually breathless book we publish. It’s got to come right off the page at you, which is why it’s great we’ve got Ken Lashley on art

Yeah, but Wally wont be Flash OYL. But as long as he's alive, theres always a chance.

Wally could still be the Flash post-OYL. Maybe he's the one we're not supposed to get attached to. He could pop back in, do his best to balance his family life and his superhero life, fail miserably, and decide his family's too important.

 

[The Caped Knight]

The upcoming Issue #1 covers for the relaunch of Flash : One Year Later

It Looks like Wally .

 

[Compi716]

^Man, that's cool!

 

[The Caped Knight]

Yeah it's a really cool badass cover .

 

[Hellstormer]

Another series to add to me pull

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think it necessarily looks like Wally. That could be a picture of anyone. It's a cool cover, though. Kind of loud, but still pretty good.

 

[batnkevlar]

It's not a black guy, as previously mentioned... i think the suit has a mouth cover too, like a full piece mask...

 

[yenaled]

You know unless it is Wally, I really don't care about this book.

Just nothing that has come out about this series has got me at all interested or excited yet.

 

[Hellstormer]

It's not a black guy, as previously mentioned... i think the suit has a mouth cover too, like a full piece mask...

No I see lips and teeth and he might still be black you can't really tell with all those colors.

 

[Tamanon]

Hrm...the face actually looks like Zoom.....odd

 

[batnkevlar]

No I see lips and teeth and he might still be black you can't really tell with all those colors.

What I'm saying is, if his costume is liquid speed or whatever, then it forms around him, turning his skin red...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Speed Force is allegedly staying gone, according to Joan Hilty, and Wally's speed costume was made of Speed Force energy. Of course, she also said the Speed Force would be more important than ever, as well...

Here is The preview art for Flash OYL.

the text makes me think of a blend of Waid's run and Johns's run

The upcoming Issue #1 covers for the relaunch of Flash : One Year Later

It Looks like Wally .

Thats a kickass cover right there, I'm so hoping it's Wally.

Can't wait for this!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm hoping it's not Wally, myself. Remember, the first Flash we see will not be the Flash for long, according to the editor of the comic.
